Congratulations, Judith, on your graduation.

Today was Judith's graduation (B.Sc. Kinesiology) from Queen's University. The proud parents took the three-hour drive yesterday evening and spent the night at a B&B that we would highly recommend to anybody, An Enchanted Garden on Collins Creek. We found the place on a Google search for B&B's in Kingston. It was reasonably priced and cheaper than the Holidy Inn :-) Unfortunately we did not have the time to do the place justice.

This morning we drove over to where Judith's boyfriend stays, Mark Dank(theTank)ovich, and with him walked over to Grant Hall.

I'm sorry about the pictures being so blurry and grainy. I was too far away to use a flash, and I've obviously got a lot to learn about taking videos when there are tall people in front of me.



The graduands were led in by pipers.



Judith is at bottom left, just to the left of the guy in blue.






Here is my jumpy video of Judith being "hooded". Unfortunately I started a fraction of a second after her name was announced.




Outside, after it was all over. Ingrid, Mark D and Judith.

Stephen and Heather in Morocco
The other bit of news is that Stephen and Heather left for Morocco on Wednesday. Here is a copy of the email that we received from them. I only saw it today when we got back from Kingston. It seems like they have a French keyboard.

Hi
Heather and I arrived in Casablanca today after a mostly uneventful qnd only slightly delayed flight. we spent our first day getting lost in the madina several times, checked out the Hassan II mosque which is huge, ate our first of probably many tagine dinners and made friends zith the chef who taught us everything ze needed to know qbout the mosque (it holds 100 000 people), and spent half an hour typing this email because keyboards here arent normal...so email updates zill be kept short and will have many Qs where As should be, and and Zs where Ws should be etc...

Cheers for now
Steve
